Would anyone take Kioso vacation? Seems to have jumped between a few clubs in Champo/Lg1 including loan deals. Did okay for us and experience of a division up. I think part of why he left was couldn't settle oop North, mate...so dunno... And yet he was at Rotherham lol Luton, Northampton, Milton Ke...

Up front, if we lose JDB and Cam in summer, that feels like space. A bit of space, but not much, considering we'll have AC, DC, Vic and Dan – all strikers Evatt spent club money on - plus CMG as a wildcard fifth forward. Doesn't mean I don't think we should have an eye out - for instance, I wonder ...

Interested to see Barnsley's retained/released list when it emerges. Per Transfermarkt, among those falling out of contact are Devante Cole, Nicky Cadden, Herbie Kane and Jordan Williams. Jamie McCart's also been listed by Rotherham, whence he was loaned to the Tykes...

TBF DSB, they spent all day avoiding Radio, TV and the Newspapers. I reckon if it got an update, they might include football forums too!

Oh aye. And throwing their phones in the bin. It was a very different time.

I would suspect that players "like" Ogbeta and Azeez are more likely candidates than "bigger" names. If we do go up, we will be suddenly swimming in a pond of sizeable fishies. Doesn't mean success is impossible (ask Ian's mate Rob Edwards) but we'll have to be savvy. If we need say five signings, I...

Ah no worries, it was always likely they'd go down. I assume, the weather being nice, we'll get to see Vinny Kompany doing his full Kendall-off- Succession impression. Also been a bit weird this season wanting them to do well because Traf was in goal. As soon as they dropped him, I could once more d...

I take it you wouldn't want to sign Ogbeta or Ashworth, then? I've quite liked both, especially Nat, but I can see what you mean. We need players who will raise the ceiling - or indeed the roof.

Burnley are down. Another big reason I want to go up. One of my favourite fixtures.

SPOILER ALERT!

I was* trying to do the Likely Lads thing** and avoid the score

*As I usually do, I find it makes MotD at least 15x better

I'm not sure what discussions on here have been, but I have us needing 5-6 (minimum 4) in over the summer - unless we lose some to big bids. Not so much discussions as Schopenhauerian laments about the futility of attempting to find joy given the inevitability of disappointment because true fulfilm...

Elsewhere, WIGAN release Josh Magennis, Ben Amos, Tom Pearce, Stephen Humphrys and Charlie Wyke. Offering terms to Jason Kerr, Jordan Jones, Callum McManaman and Harry McHugh.

I'd also be right after Wiredu at Fleetwood as the defensive utility player, but then I thought the same about Deji last season. I know you've eyed Wiredu a while. But while I know he can play more than one position, do you think there's scope for another centre-back addition, assuming we have John...

Lovely to have you back, Ghost. I was thinking this morning that as it stands, we have four midfielders next season - Sheehan, Thomo, Dempsey and Morley. I assume we'll go for Paris if possible, but that still leaves space for one more. Could be Byers. Just hope we don't get... wait for it... Byers ...

He'd have 'proven himself' unable to get out of this division... not sure it would create a queue at the door.

Dave Sutton's barnet

As I said the other week, it will be interesting to see if we strengthen the back three this summer (whichever division). It would have to be a big upgrade – you'd assume Santos is a shoo-in, Johnston is back, Toal seems popular with the manager. Then Jones is a good squad member, Iredale offers cov...

Our lads out of contract in summer: Nat Ogbeta Zac Ashworth Declan John Jon Dadi Bodvarsson Cameron Jerome interestingly JDB's new contract had a year extension triggerable by appearances, although it was never made clear how many. He made 46 appearances in all comps (18 starts), 36 in the league (1...

Could be some really exciting signings made this summer! Yeah, you'd hope so. Not quite sure where though. I think it might be about adding dashes of quality where available rather than saying, for instance, "a No.10". Not sure any of the exciting players are mentioned above like, either, but as I ...

Obvz we don't yet know what division we're in, but for most of the Football League the games are over and the released/retained lists are coming out. We'll need some players this summer, and their names might first appear omn here - who'd have linked us with Josh Dacres-Cogley? Anyway... ROTHERHAM r...

Yeah, but Posh rested a load as we were up next...edit: think that was the game they made 8 changes? No, that was another game a bit later in the season, mate. Curious though, Oxford. As I say, after that 5-0 walloping at Bolton , Buckingham tweaked his midfield (from "two 6s and an 8" to "a 6 and ...

Hats off that the Happy Shop has done a Pollockesque (Jackson not Jamie) T-shirt for the new chant.

I wouldn't say they've been "good". Dogged. Disciplined. Determined. Their entire game plan was "keep Posh out". It's worked, and fair play to them. Different proposition in the final. We've got to get players like Maghoma unlocking that defence, get Williams/Ogbeta and JDC round the outside and ge...
